That's somewhat sounds like going round a long way to me. We all have different techniques but I don't have that much patience so jacking up the third member is what works for me. Anyways you're not paranoid, I should say you're very careful and particular.

I thought this was an FI hate thread when I read the title....

I now have this problem. FI exhaust but don’t want to damage it trying to somehow jack by the differential. If I have my front wheels on stands (and ramps underneath), would it be safe to jack from the side rear points to put them on stands 1 by 1? I have pinch weld adapters for both the jack and stands.

Put at 2 by 4 block of wood on your jack and jack it up from under the diff. That is what I do.

So from the attached photo, do I need a new lower profile jack? Can’t push it any further up due to mufflers, so can’t get it under diff. Can’t get to it from the side due to distance and angle of jack arm while raising. I’ve heard about some folks lifting from a rear side to get the lowest jack stand height under, then switching sides, but the side instability creeps me out a bit. Front is already on stands.

I forgot to tell you, I drive up on 2x6's nailed together to get the car up in the air enough to get the jack under it. It is two 2x6 about 36in long and then two 2x6's nailed cross ways over the top of the other two. It makes a step up. That is what I use to drive my car on to do oil changes.

I have a nice wooden block, trimmed down to fit here.
Either derived from a 4x4 or something...but works well

For the pinch rails, I use a hockey puck with a slit cut into it. For the rear diff with FI style exhaust canisters, I stack two hockey pucks on top of my jack to clear the pipes. My low profile jack fits under my diff at stock height, but if additional clearance is needed, you can always drive up on a 2x to gain clearance for your floor jack like several people have mentioned.

For the record, the diff is actually the garage jack point that is identified by Nissan in the factory service manual. So no one should be suggesting that it is not an acceptable jack point.

Just adding that the Greddy Evolution GT (dual exhaust) has the same problem, where the cans don't allow my floor jack to reach the diff. I go one side at a time also.

So one entire side, insert 2 jack stands on lowest setting then repeat on opposite side? I’m doing brake flush and need all 4 wheels off at same time.
